Does Micheal get moments of clarity, when he realises just what he's become? Seeing just how far he has fallen from grace?

i kept this ask in my inbox for so long because I love it so much

Yes. Yes yes yes yesyes

his moments of lucidity are few, but when they happen he is at his weakest and most vulnerable. he has a few moments of confusion, fear, guilt and betrayal before he’s taken over again

#I LOVE how this is phrased #like #he goes. What’s that on my face #I can’t feel my left arm. I can’t move my legs are rooted into the ground #I have failed the Father is this my punishment do I deserve this #and so on #he’s a disgrace #michael (oc) #anonymous

First orcas and their salmon hats, now humpbacks with their kelping… I can’t keep up with these whale fads

christ sometimes I just wanna. steal a time machine & go back & sit down next to my 9-year-old self and just like. let them pull out their pokemon card binder & gush about their holographic gyarados or whatever. I'd just smile & ask questions about motherfukcing bulbasaur & tell my kid self that I thought they were a neat person, & someday they'd find other people who thought so too.

like i'm a grown adult who honestly finds most kids stuff boring, but. damn if i could go back & hang out with my baby self & listen to them ramble...just so they knew someone was listening. i would in a heartbeat. thinking about u kid

#wouldn't roll my eyes or check my phone or get bored or nothing #I'd just listen to that little dork & smile & encourage them & let them explain how their favorite gameboy games worked #i was the kind of kid my adult self would find annoying & uninteresting but like #most of the actual adults in my childhood felt that way too. including my dang parents. #and ya know sometimes they showed it. a lot of times without realizing it. and that messes a kid up #if you don't make an effort kids WILL recognize your disinterest and lack of attention. #kids deserve to have caregivers who show interest and engagement #even when it's over stuff that adults find boring. especially then maybe #your kid doesn't have to be fun or interesting or easy or well behaved to deserve positive attention #they deserve positive attention because they are YOUR KID #if love is unconditional then DISPLAYS of LOVE and AFFECTION must also be unconditional #not something that must be earned #telling your kid that you love them is not enough. that is step one out of like a thousand #if you just tell your kid you love them but you don't demonstrate affection and interest and patience and warmth and etcetera #your kid isn't gonna feel loved! I Love You will just become a trite phrase that they regard with mistrust! #bitch you gotta FOLLOW THROUGH

In my sleeplessness last night, I decided to note down every time Uncletello says "I'll fix it" or some variation of it since it's used quite a bit! I didn’t do every time Donnie’s repaired something or tried to find a solution because that’s like the whole comic 💀 so I just focused on the use of the word fix in relation to him. THE RESULTS:

Donnie’s always been the one who handles repairing things and helping his family and doing things for them is his love language. But, his idea of “fixing” really picks up when he’s sick and when he’s trying to get his brothers back. He’s the fix it guy and he tries to do what he does best when he gets anxious. He mends, repairs, he improves and adjusts, he fixes, or at least he tries to, even if the thing he sets out to fix seems impossible or large, like fixing the planet or aging or DEATH. Anything for his family, even everything. I just think it’s interesting that that word in particular is used so often with him!

I also think it’s interesting that during Donnie’s death absence, Casey uses “fix” in the same grand and determined way that his uncle does. It makes me think that Casey’s come to associate “I’ll fix it” with “everything is gonna be okay” because that’s what it means whenever Donnie uses it. He says that everything is gonna be okay, and in one way or another, he usually ends up being right.

OH. MY GOD

#cas details #kinda #? #i love your research #it's interesting because I used fixit phrase on purpose but didn't realize how often

Ramon: So opinions on [Bagi]?

Fit: She's legit, we can trust her. We can trust her.

Ramon: Would you rather a dad or a mom [for me?]

Fit: Uh- I- no one! No one. Let's- let's get over to Felps' Square, Ramon. [They head to the warp at Spawn, then Fit hesitates] Um, wait- Ramon. [He pauses, briefly looks at the camera, then says in a rush] If I had to choose between the two, it'd be a dad. Alright, let's go. Let's go, let's go.

I dunno how to phrase it but something about it really made me go :') #''if I had to choose between the two it'd be a dad'' #man idk maybe this is just because that's how I write characters but that really spoke to me #both as a slowburn writer and as a demi-leaning person

i think sonic would actually really like the phrase "live laugh love" but not bc he likes the aesthetic that it usually belongs to, or is anything like the people who would hang those signs in their house. he would just see it somewhere w no context and think wow live laugh love? that's what i do!! and he would unironically say it bc it DOES fit him. like he would graffiti tag it around the city

#what i am trying to say is that live laugh love is a good phrase but the connotation has been changed. which is sad!!! #but if u take all that away then the phrase is good. and that's how sonic would see it #tbh i don't think most of the cast would know the context either so they'd just be like yeah 👍 when sonic says it #except for some ppl like. rouge would know. and think it's hilarious when he says it but won't explain why LOL #sth #sonic the hedgehog #fenn.post

I have soft spot for pathetic hopelessly in love men who try so hard to pretend they're so unbothered

Hey hello. Consider. Hobie reading over and suggesting edits to drafts of Peter's writing and then going home visually with clippings and quotes from said writing as a part of him. Alternately, Peter takes inspiration from quotes visible on Hobie

heart on your sleeve…..

#spider man: across the spider verse #spider punk #spider noir #hobie brown #noirpunk #noirpunk discord was chatting abt words on hobie’s university signature reflecting his thoughts which i’ve done before lol #hobie gives me the opportunity to be obnoxious abt poetry <333 #oh how i love them #thank you anon!!! i rlly appreciate people leaving lil ideas in my inbox #even if it takes a while for me to figure out how they’ll work #but it’s so much fun and it’s so sweet and i’m so glad people think of me to share their ideas!! #they’re both writers except parker usually sticks with prose #and hobie with song lyrics so i believe in my heart of hearts #that they are both SHIT at poetry #(yeah song lyrics are poetry but the structure/vibe is way different lol) #poetry is something they almost unconsciously start to practice together/for each other #type of nerds to be like ‘aw this is such a sweet love poem… you spelled this wrong and repeated this phrase already—‘

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #song lan #xue yang #I know it makes jokes less funny if you explain them but I feel like I gotta for this one: #xue yang’s Spanish here is playing on the fact he’s a beginner (using a commonly taught phrase) #combined with the fact that he’s clearly taking what he’s heard Xiao Xingchen use. #of course XY would want to know how to cuss someone out in another language. Do you think XXC would teach him how? Nope. #XY would ask ‘How do I to someone I really hate them?’ #and XXC would say ‘You tell them ‘Te Amo Mucho’ :•)’ #As FAR as XY is concerned he knows *so* many swears. These words are just terms of endearment. #XXC would not swear or cuss anyone out but he *would* punctuate phrases with general terms of endearment. #More so directed towards A-Qing but Xue Yang has been proven to be a decent indirect learner. #That said he has also been shown to Not Quite Get The Nuances (consequences of observational learning). #Sadly he never had a good observational model for love or compassion B*( #Spanish speakers please oh god please correct me if I biffed something badly here. I can fix it.

Still thinking about this by the way

#like there's the later line where shes like 'she wouldn't settle for so little after enduring so much' but something about this one and the #way it's phrased just makes me sooooo #inej ghafa queen of setting boundaries and valuing yourself #like he can't bring himself to tell her how he feels and even though he's clearly trying here by letting her touch him. if he can't actually #be emotionally vulnerable with her then it's just not going to work. she loves him and she knows he loves her but she deserves to be with #someone who will actually tell her that and let her in #i love her so much #inej ghafa #kanej #six of crows #image description in alt

VRISKA #but yeah she did still do those things. i wasnt sure how to handle this but i decided to go this way. a vriska is a vriska #vriska #homestuck #bugstuck #vriska serket #One time I got a death threat in the middle of an in-person roleplaying game. That underclassman just looked at me with hatred in their eye #a panic attack #then later after THAT they began openly weeping.
